Provenance: Tiziani Archives, Palm Beach Auctions, 2019 - The fashion drawings in felt-tip pen that Karl Lagerfeld created for the Tiziani fashion label are characterised by their particularly clear, vibrant use of colour. Lagerfeld used the intense tones to effectively emphasise fabrics, patterns and fashionable details. The strokes appear spontaneous and decisive, often with an emphasised dynamic style, which lends the designs an immediate, almost sketch-like freshness. At the same time, he always remained stylistically controlled: Lines and colours were deliberately placed, never arbitrary or overloaded.
